A brief introduction to Lu You's poems

First, the ideological content of Lu You's poems

1. The most valuable and influential part of Lu You's poetry is patriotic poetry. His patriotic poems are extensive in content, profound in thought and sincere in feelings. They show the author's patriotic spirit at multiple levels and angles, and sing the strongest voice of the times. Specifically, the author mainly shows his patriotic theme from the following aspects:

(1) Enthusiastically eulogized the Northern Expedition and the War of Resistance, and loudly called for resisting gold and saving the country. He not only expressed this ideal with realistic brushwork, but also often expressed his beautiful wish of reunifying the motherland in the form of Ji Meng's poems. Representative works are 1 1 the storm on the 4th of May, the night half of May 1 1 day, and so on. These poems not only show the author's firm belief in restoring the Central Plains and his ambition to avenge the national humiliation, but also show his heroic spirit of sweeping the army and his spirit of dying for the country.

(2) Attacking the compromise peace policy of the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court and exposing the treacherous acts of Korean traitors and traitors. Representative works include Guan Shanyue, Reading Fan Zhineng at Night, Remembering the Past, and so on. These poems are sharp and combative, and even point the criticism at the supreme ruler, which is extremely rare in patriotic poems at that time.

(3) Full of grief and indignation and the feeling that the hero will die. The author has the heart to serve the country, but he can't get it. The profound contradiction between ideal and reality makes Lu's poems add tragic notes to the passionate tone. The book of wrath and sleeping in a water town are representative works in this respect. The gloomy and generous style reflects the poet's complex psychology in the face of reality, which is the unique personality characteristic of Lu You's patriotic poems.

(4) Describe the bitter life of the people in the occupied areas, express their deep feelings and deep hopes for the old country, and praise the pure patriotic quality of the broad masses of people. Representative works include "Autumn Night at the Fence Gate" and "Memories of Time Past".

2. Leisure poems reciting daily life scenes and pastoral poems expressing seclusion interest are another important content of Lu You's poems. The author is good at exploring the poetry in life, chewing the meaningful flavor, posting the twists and turns of the current scenery, writing lightly and with unique style, showing the pursuit and yearning for beautiful things. Representative works include Light Rain on Jianmen Road and Early Spring Rain in Lin 'an.

3. Describing rural life and reflecting the sufferings of working people is also quite prominent in Lu You's poetry creation. Representative works include "Shanxi Village Tour" and "A Farmer's Sigh". Some of these poems exposed the cruel exploitation of peasants by the feudal ruling class, some described the hard life of peasants, some praised the simple quality of peasants and the simple customs in rural areas, and showed the poet's sympathy and concern for the broad masses of the people.

In addition, there are several love poems, which mainly express his undying feelings for his ex-wife Tang Wan. Two representative works, Shen Yuan, are precious in the almost deserted poetry circle of the Song Dynasty.

Second, the artistic features of Lu You's poems:

1. Lu You's poems are a perfect combination of realism and romanticism. His poems comprehensively and profoundly reflect the social life of the Southern Song Dynasty, and are a mirror of the times, known as "the history of poetry". In this respect, he mainly inherited the realistic spirit of Du Fu's poems, but in the way of reflecting reality, he formed his own characteristics: he did not pay attention to the plot picture, but compressed the facts into extremely refined poems, focusing on expressing his subjective feelings, with high generality and strong lyricism. At the same time, he often expresses his patriotic feelings through absurd dreams and fantasies, and tries his best to highlight the poet's self-image. He is called "Xiao Taibai", which is quite close to Li Bai's romantic atmosphere. The imagination and fantasy of Lu's poems are related to resisting the ideal of saving the country and the people, which has tragic and lofty beauty, and has a more solid realistic foundation, richer social connotation and stronger militancy than Li Bai's poems.

2. Lu You borrowed extensively from predecessors and was compatible with various styles, especially Du Fu's melancholy and Li Bai's elegant and chic. He is good at combining these two different artistic styles and casting them into his own unique poetic style: both melancholy and solemn, and magnificent.

3. Lu You's poems are all prepared and skillful, and he is especially good at the creation of seven-character poems, and he has made great achievements in seven laws, seven laws and seven laws. His seven ancient poems are rich in connotation and broad in weather. "It looks like seaweed, but it is elegant and clean; Seemingly bold and unrestrained, but actually cautious, it can best represent the characteristics of Lu's poetry. His seven-metrical poems are neat, which makes things iron, ambitious and alert, and should be the first in the Southern Song Dynasty. His four-line poems are full of charm and Tang flavor.

4. The language of Lu You's poems is eclectic, patriotic poems are uninhibited, idyllic poems are simple and unpretentious, and leisurely idyllic poems are fresh and delicate, but the language of these poems has a common feature, that is, beautiful and smooth, refined and natural.
